U.S. Open week culminates with Sunday's final round on Father's Day.

It's a perfect symbol of the enduring bond between dads and golf. Shopping for gifts for golfers can be tricky. Is your dad a diehard player who already has everything? Or is he a casual golfer who is always looking for something to help him improve?

Either way, you can make Father's Day 2025 a memorable one by finding that perfect gift.

There’s one genre of golf item we’re frankly not inclined to recommend buying for Father's Day:

Golf clubs.

If Dad is a golf equipment nut, chances are he wants to get custom-fitted for that new driver or irons, as opposed to receiving something off-the-rack that might or (most likely) might not end up suiting him. Putters can also be custom fit, but they are more uniform in nature, so we have included one putter that could make sense for dad. It's as hot as any golf equipment brand when it comes to professional golfers.

We know not everyone has a big budget for Father's Day gifts, so we've separated all of our recommendations by price. Hopefully, we can inspire you to shop appropriately according to your budget:

For years, I have brought a super-absorbent cooling towel with me to every hot summer round. I make sure to submerge it in water every few holes and hang it over the back of my neck between shots to help trick my brain into forgetting that it’s 90-plus degrees outside. But recently, I tested a thin, stretchy and cooling neck gaiter from Mission, which makes all sorts of hot-weather gear for golfers, hikers and other athletes. Their neck gaiter works the same as the cooling towel, but better, because I can simply keep it on while I hit shots. I anticipate I’ll be wearing it for most summer rounds, and if your favorite Golf Dad plays in the heat, too, he’ll thank you for the thoughtful gift of instant cool. $16.99 on Amazon. - Tim Gavrich

Golf socks might seem like a weird or mailed-in golf gift, but Altera Alpaca’s golf socks are some of the best money can buy. And on a hot day, Dad's feet will thank him for not putting just any old golf sock on them. Alpaca wool is even more durable and breathable than Merino wool, which makes it perfect for sweltering summer golf. I swear by the Surino line of golf socks, which are plain in appearance and absolutely spectacular in performance - . $22 per pair. - T.G.

Golf books are an inexpensive gift and they're easy to ship, wrap or travel with. This year's crop is quite robust. I particularly love The Golf 100, ranking the best players of all-time, male and female, in one list. Click on the article below to see the full selection. - Jason Scott Deegan

GrooveIt’s “Wet Club Scrub” is a terrific golf club cleaning brush with high-quality materials and a clever design. You can fill the main chamber with water and at the press of your thumb, it will spritz a bit onto your clubface, making it easier for the stiff plastic bristles to whisk away unwanted grime. A strong magnet and good carabiner helps hook the GrooveIt to your golf bag while making it easy to remove when needed – much better than the brushes with unreliable retractable cord connections. GrooveIt also makes a smaller and lower-cost brush called the miniG, but we prefer the instant-wetting capabilities of the original. $24.99 on Amazon. - T.G.

Golf apparel has been getting more and more expressive in recent years, and sunglasses company Goodr is getting in on the fun as well. Their shades are both well-built and well-priced, with a range of styles that won’t break the bank and will help Dad feel young on the course. $35. - T.G.

GolfNow gift cards make a perfect Father’s Day gift for any golf enthusiast. With access to more than 11,000 golf courses worldwide, it’ll be easy for Dad to find the perfect course to play. And with no expiration date, he can use the gift card at his convenience. Plus, GolfNow offers exclusive tee times that you can book 24/7 on the free app. Spend whatever amount you wish. Shop here.

We've made shopping easier this year by selecting our favorite golf polos for less than $100. A handful of them cost less than $75 from brands like CON.STRUCT, Sunday Swagger, FootJoy and Under Armour. You'll be happy to know that these shirts don't lack in quality. They often include UV protection and moisture-wicking fabric to keep dad cool in the summer months. - J.S.D.

If Dad likes to work on his golf game, chances are he’s missing an easy way to take videos of his golf swing. That’s where the iRange Sports Stick EXT is a brilliant gadget. Its adjustable telescoping arm, pointy anchor and strong magnetic (MagSafe compatible) attachment puck will hold Dad’s phone steady while he grinds on the range. Plus, if he wants to become a golf influencer, he can use the Stick to dabble in on-course content creation, too. $84.99 on Amazon.

Call it a shameless plug if you want, but we wouldn't work for GolfPass if we didn't believe in its ability to enrich your golf life, or that of your favorite golf dad. Especially if Dad likes to bop around to different courses in his area, the monthly $10 Anytime Tee Time Credits that come with GolfPass+ membership will help him save a bunch on the regular tee times he's likely already booking through GolfNow. Or, if Dad is still on a quest to finally break 80, unlocking our full library of video golf instruction tips - including the latest season of Ask Rory - will open up a whole new resource that he can appreciate. GolfPass+ members also get regular exclusive discounts on products from up-and-coming golf brands as well as up to $100 off stay-and-play golf packages, as well as opportunities to attend live GolfPass Academy Tour clinics, followed by free rounds of golf. $99; sign up here.

If your dad is a little more particular about his golf polos, our buying guide can also help you find more traditional, high-end golf shirt companies out there. Four of our favorite brands are B.Draddy, Stitch, Peter Millar and Johnnie-O.

SWAG GolfNow Gopher Putter Cover

Created by SWAG Golf, the GolfNow Gopher putter cover comes in the proper shapes for both blade and mallet putters, protecting your beloved flat stick in style. $125. - J.S.D.

It might feel like winter's a long way off, but when it comes to golfers in seasonal climates you can never be too prepared for those chilly fall rounds right around the corner. The ororo heated apparel includes heated vests, jackets and accessories for men and women that are made to keep you warm without sacrificing your golf swing. The versatile designs provide three different heat settings with rechargeable batteries. Some items are 30 percent off during a Father's Day sale. $129-$179 - J.S.D.

Turn on the TV and chances are you'll see a dozen or more Tour pros putting with a L.A.B. Golf putter. This acronym stands for Lie Angle Balance, a technology that's changing the way golfers putt. Instead of the tradition pendulum swing of the putter face, L.A.B. putters virtually force your stroke to stay consistently down the line. Once you learn the feel and nuances of this new approach, you should theoretically make more putts. The OZ.1 was developed in collaboration with and inspired by former Masters champion Adam Scott. Custom options are available. $449-$499 - J.S.D.

Whether it's Ireland or Bandon Dunes, whenever dad is walking for an entire golf trip, it would be wise that ECCOs are on his feet. They're perhaps the best combination of comfort and style on the market. The new ECCO Biom H5 golf shoes come in a traditional style with laces or the more modern look and feel with the BOA Fit System. This next generation BIOM is crafted from ECCO Performance Leather with a one-piece engineered knit sock. The state-of-the-art ECCO-TEX waterproof membrane keeps feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions. They come in black or white. $249 - J.S.D.

The new Lux Stand golf bag from VESSEL provides the perfect mix of catering to golfers who love to walk but do ride in carts when it's required. Crafted from tour-grade materials with genuine leather accents, this lightweight golf carry bag features plenty of smart storage compartments, super stability and eye-pleasing design. We love the dedicated storage pouch that provides easy access to your rangefinder when walking. Another design accent allows cart straps to hug the bag in place without leaving a mark. Some great Father's Day promotions - get $75 off bags with code: VSL75 (excludes limited edition items) or 30% off select styles with no code needed through June 15 - make this gift too good to pass up. $389 - J.S.D.

Cobalt's flagship Q6 Slope rangefinder, has been updated in 2025 with a new feature - the magnetic shell that attaches to a cart for ease of use. The rest of its construction remains among the best in the business - the waterproof aluminum shell, the SmartSwitch can easily toggle Slope Mode on and off for tournament play, the ability to increase the screen's brightness by turning a knob, the Surge technology signals you've hit the target. It's a sports car of rangefinders. $450 - J.S.D.
